this way, you will avoid the danger of shock.
Another source of danger in the current tap is fire due to overheating. Never operate a current tap device without someone in the room. When current taps were first placed on the market, life tests were made at a laboratory and one of these devices was left on all night. A fire which did several thousand dollars damage resulted. Had someone been there, warning through fusing wires would have been given in time to turn off the device.
A well designed current tap device presents none of these dangers. You can determine this for yourself by looking for the stamp "Approved by the Board of Fire Underwriters" on the device which you select. This mark appears on every piece of apparatus which has been inspected and approved by the board as safe for household use. There are scores of well-known manufacturers of household apparatus. Select a current tap
made by one of these, for they have learned the results of placing unsafe apparatus on the market by painful experience.
The convenience of having plate potential always available is certainly worth a little care in the selection of a current tap device.
Satisfy yourself on these points and you will find your investment justified:
1. Is the current tap device silent when con
nected with my receiving set in my own
home?
2. Does it use tubes capable of furnishing the
current which my set requires with economy in tube renewal?
3. Is there means of regulating the voltage input
of the device so as to compensate for the variations in power supply?
4. What voltage does the current tap device
supply to my set and is it sufficient to give good results and not too high to be a source of danger when connected with headphones?
5. Is the current tap device approved by the
Board of Fire Underwriters?
